June 9/10 10:23 am - NorthShore Bikefest DH Smackdown

Sunday, June 6th on the Vancouver N. Shore. The organization offered the chance for some young team members to take part in a pre-race camp with Mad March Racing and Cycling BC Coaches Chad Hendren and Mark Bunyan. Many riders found this was of benefit to them and it certainly told in the results. They were excited to be on the receiving end of tips from two time World Masters' Champion, Shaums March.

In the U17 category, riders who have been assisted by Cycling BC took six of the top ten spots, with Jordan Gosteli of Squamish taking first, Brennan Walstrom of Vancouver second, and Harrison Duxbury-Sleep of Sechelt in third.

In Junior Men, Cycling BC rider Tyler Allison of Whistler crashed, but still claimed second, Cam Porteous of Vancouver took third, while other riders placed fourth, fifth and seventh.

In Elite women Rebecca McQueen of Whistler placed third.

The Junior Women are turning out to be a force to be reckoned with, as 14 year old Holly Feniak of the Sunshine Coast posted the fastest time of the day, while Lauren Rosser of Squamish was disappointed in her second place finish after a bad crash on the way to the finish line. Kelsey Begg of Langley rounded out the Junior women in third position.
